About Dinner for one - up Platt
Because the people of Mecklenburg are also blessed with an alert spirit for the cheerful, they have tracked down a descendant of an old Low German noble family in Fröllein Sophie, who has been celebrating her 90th birthday for 25 years with four faded gentlemen. In their native language, of course. Without her stumbling and staggering servant Franz, of course, nothing works.
Directed by Henning Kasten, Dinner for one - up Platt leans on a strong ensemble — Eberhard Bremer, Marga Heiden, Wilhelm Wieben — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 1999.
